1. Can I have pork rinds on Induction? This question currently has been asked by 92 different members, and the list is still growing! Somehow, pork rinds hit a nerve in the Atkins community. The answers are: yes and no! The Atkins plan asks you to limit carbohydrate foods strictly in Induction, which should only last about two weeks. We recommend fresh foods high in nutritional value. Some pork rinds are flavored with maltodextrin and other sugar flavorings. However, if the package says zero carbohydrate, then you can try them if you like.

Dear Doc said that too much as well as too little protein can cause oedema!! If too much protein is consumed, it can burden the kidneys heavily hence causing leaking/oedema.

Probably loads more than any of us consume anyway.

I Just wanted to post this here. I will do more research on this matter.

Good night!!
